  • Oppose Looks like a standard vacation photo. The light is harsh afternoon sunlight. For real EV, we need a photo that focuses directly on the animal/s in more favorable light. Geoffroi 23:16, 1 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This one shows also the typical landscape and architecture of Faroe Islands - I would say it adds the EV. —kallerna 06:38, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - I don't contest the EV, but unfortunately the composition is a bit messy, with the front sheep "touching" the one in the back. A slightly different angle might have helped. --Janke | Talk 09:30, 2 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Janke: What makes me wonder about this is that it covers both the animals and the town. If the photographer moved forward, and got past the animals, he or she could probably get an FP or a QI quality photo of the town. An isolated photo of the animals close-up would have better EV.

  • Oppose – Per Geoffroi, Janke. A more narrowly focused shot of the foreground animal would be better. – Sca (talk) 15:42, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I do not like the composition. Taewangkorea (talk) 22:35, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
